The highly touted Oglethorpe football team, better known as the petrels to the collegiate world, came down from Atlanta, Ga., last Saturday and managed to snatcn a 13-0 victory from that fighting Hurricane eleven of ours.
True it is the Petrels made 21 first downs to our four and gained some 330 yards from scrimmage compared to our 40. But lye must pve our fellows credit for the way they fought. The Petrels came down from the North with a record of fighting Georgia Tech to a standstill for three periods. What

team was on the defense and did not attempt to carry the ball once. In the second quarter the Petrels marched to a score, often using lateral passes, mixed up with a delayed line buck that seemed to baflle the center of our line. Gar-iington and Vaughn did most of the ball toting during the march. Vaughn kicked goal. Following the kickoff the Miami backs decided to give the visitors their Christmas present ahead of time

score of the day. After that when the Miami line was threatened, they always managed to brace and hold for downs.
Stars! Yes, there,were two that stood out. Ashman played the sweetest game on defense ever seen in these parts. He stopped everything that came around his end. Solie and Sutton aided him in spilling the interference but it was Ashman who brought them to earth. They battered him all over the field but the boy wouldn’t quit until he was taken out. He returned to the game limping again in the second half and his good work continued.
Courtney as usual did everything that is expected from a star. His punts kept the ball out of the danger territory and he supplied the thrill of the day when he raced from midfield 45 yards to the 5 yard line with an intercepted pass. This boy is always giving everything he has to the game and he is a typical leader. Cliff was honored with being acting captain Saturday, and from the way he led his team he is due again for the role.
The whole team tackled better than ever. Wignall didn’t get into the game until it was about over and some of the Petrels are wishing he had stayed out. Fred stopped several of them with the hardest tackles seen this year.
Solie and Sutton played their best game. Catha improved lots. Conroy broke into the lineup and fought hard. It wasn’t very often that Oglethorpe’s backs circled O’Brien’s end or gained over Lyon’s position. Bill Kimbrough stopped many a thrust at the center of the line and pounced upon the Petrel fumble to top it off.
First Quarter.
Miami kicked off to the Petrels on their own 23 yard line and, using fake and lateral passe:'., they carried it to the Miami 13 yard line. The Miami line tightened up and they resorted to an aerial attack, but the pass Was incomplete. Cliff Courtney punted 45 yards. Miami did not attempt to carry the ball but resorted to a punting duel in an effort to get a break. The Petrels were mak->ng yardage through the Hurricanes line until they neared th? goal where the Miami line man aged to always hold. They car-

work is twofold. First, it is to let the students get the practical experience and knowledge of speaking before audiences. Second, it is to introduce and bring the University before the audiences. In the latter case the public speaking class can be compared to the football teani. Each has a coach, on the football team is Cub Buck; on the public speaking team it is Mrs. Owen. Each student is coached, trained and tried out before making the team.
The students making the teams are to be carefully selected and trained. They must meet the high requirements of Mrs. Owen and Dr. B. F. Ashe before they will be allowed to represent the University.

The rarest book, in America is
Miami. It is the complete works of Flavius Josephus in a barbarous Latin not easily understood; edited by d’Schass in 1475 in Manse, Germany, twenty-two yeafft after the invention of printing. The edition contained five volumes of which one is in Berlin, one in Leyden, one in the Bodleian library, Oxlord, and one in the Library in Congress, The fifth volume is, now owned by a Miamian, E. S. White, 1363 West Flagler street, where the University students are invited to see this priceless treasure, which is valued at over one hundred thousand dollars. A Metropolitan library representative will be in Miami this week to consider purchasing the volume.
This rare old book belonged originally to the monk Ladimir Klac-el, who was a university professor. He left his church as a follower of Dr. Dolliner in the Martin Luther cause, was exiled and fled to America by way of Venice. The book was smuggled in his household goods. He settled in Bell-plane, Iowa, where Col. M. E. Billings became his friend. The book was willed to Col. Billings, a scholar himself, was treasured the volume too much to sell it even in the destitute circumstances of his later years.
Col. Billing's daughter came into its possession at her father’s ueavn in lbla. Her circumstances caused her to put the book m pawn in San Francifco. Fearing that she would lose it altogether she decided to sell it to Mr. W nite.

Colorful brilliancy characterized the Etude de Concert piano number by Edward MacDowell, with which Margaret Ring delighted her audience at last Tuesday’s chapel.
This advanced, eleven page composition, which has been used for several years by the National Federation of Women’s Clubs as the state contest number, Marrgaret Ring played entirely from memory.
